San Jose vs. San Francisco (contd.)

Responding to today’s ‘Dark (green) horse’ item in today’s newspaper column, a point of information from the folks at Coulomb Technologies:

The City of San Jose was actually the first city in the nation to install our networked charging stations. They have four in downtown San Jose. The City of SF has three and the ZipCar charging stations in front of SF City Hall is the most used charging station in the country.

Your readers can pull up a map of charging stations here (and click on mychargepoint) to see which stations are in use.

Both cities should be applauded for leading the nation by example. There are no losers when it comes to promoting alternative fuels and vehicles.

I suspect that last point was a rejoinder to my not-so-subtle implication that San Francisco and San Jose were competing in a green horse race.
